According to Odom, Solis was living with the victim’s family in Austell in 2012. The victim told police that Solis forced her to have sex one morning while she was preparing for school and that he threatened her not to tell anyone. When she discovered she was pregnant, she told her mother, and after a police investigation, Solis was charged with rape. The victim gave birth in June 2013, and tests showed Solis fathered the child.

At trial, the defense argued that the 13-year-old girl and the 43-year-old Solis were having a relationship and that there was no force.

Jurors ultimately convicted Solis of the lesser-included crime of statutory rape. Judge Grubbs sentenced him to serve 20 years in prison.

Solis has been held without bond since his arrest on Dec. 25, 2012. He also had an immigration hold on his release.

He was represented by attorneys Matt Hines and Angelica Tovar-Hastings.

Wow Matt Hines and Angelica Whatever....times must be desperate for you to represent this scumbag. Not sure how you live with this one....trying to pass this off as a "relationship?" Truly, when does it go from a true defense to enabling?
